[Bug 306181] [NEW] Reset to default in the profile & Backend dialog also changes default terminal application

[Markus Korn]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compizconfig-settings-manager

I'm using the gconf backend. When I reset my current profile to default,
also other settings totally unrelated to compiz are reseted, for example
the value in /desktop/gnome/applications/terminal

Steps to reproduce:
1.) change the current profile in ccsm
2.) change the gconf value of /desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/exec to "terminator"
3.) press "reset to default" in ccsm->preferences->"profile & Backend"

Result:
gconf value of /desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/exec is changed back to "gnome-terminal"

In my opinion this is a serious bug, ccsm should not change values
unrelated to compiz. If this is expected behaviour, then ccsm is missing
a big warning like "this also affects other/unrelated gnome preferences"
